title: [Renal failure and recurrent episodes of flash pulmonary edema in a 70-year-old patient].
abstract: METHODS
  We report on a patient presenting with renal failure who developed mutliple episodes of flash pulmonary edema.
  
  
  METHODS
  Volume retention due to ischemic nephropathy was found to be the cause.
  
  
  METHODS
  She was diagnosed to have a high grade renal artery stenosis in a functional solitary kidney and underwent percutaneous angioplasty. After being anuric and dialysis-dependent, she regained her kidney function leading to resolution of the volume retention and could be weaned from dialysis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Ischemic nephropathy is often accompanied by recurrent episodes of flash pulmonary edema and responds well to an interventional treatment.
